Processing capability has scaled exponentially for decades, but how we move data between chips has not kept up.

As data rates increase, the distance that data can travel decreases.

Scaling up data rates through copper wires requires devoting more chip area to sending and receiving data, which means chips have less area for logic.

Solution

Use light to move all data.

High Bandwidth

Using many colors of light enables scaling up bandwidths in a way that electricity can't.

Any Distance

Brilliant™ can send data any distance, whether it's 2cm or 2km.

Small Size

Our technology is built using a new miniature optical building block, which enables high bandwidths in a tiny chip area.

Applications

Brilliant™ will open up bottlenecks in many important areas.

Brilliant™ will make it possible for data scientists to analyze large data sets in minutes rather than days, improving their ability to iterate and learn as results are returned quickly.

Brilliant™ will increase the amount of data that a car can process as it collects information from dozens of sensors and cameras to make decisions, improving the safety of the people using autonomous systems by not requiring engineers to choose between how much data to collect and how quickly to make decisions.

Our miniaturized optical devices will make it possible to make small, affordable healthcare imaging equipment, improving the accessibility of life-saving tools for doctors and patients around the world.

Brilliant™ will enable new supercomputer architectures that will be more flexible in allocating jobs across processors, resulting in dramatically lower energy usage to perform the same number of computations.
